An engineer with Haliburton calculated the AW values shown for retaining a presently owned machine additional years. A challenger has an economic service life of 7 years with AW = $-86,000 per year. Assuming all future costsremain as estimated for the analysis, (a) when should the company replace the defender and with what machine, and (b) when should the companypurchase the challenger? The MARR is 12% per year. Assume used machines like the one presently owned will always be available.
An injection molding system has a first cost of $200,000 and an annual operating cost of $85,000 in years 1 and 2, increasing by $4,500 per year thereafter. The salvage value of the system is 25% of the first cost regardless of when the system is retired within its maximum useful life of 5 years. Using a MARR of 9% per year, determine the ESL and the respective AW value of the system. The ESL is year(s) and AW value of the system is $

The data associated with operating and maintaining an asset are shown below. The company manager has already decided to keep the machine for 1 more year (i.e., until the end of year 1), but you have been asked to determine the cost of keeping it 1 more year after that. At an interest rate of 10% per year, estimate the AW of keeping the machine from year 1 to year 2.

A commercial 3D printer is purchased for $350,000. The salvage value of the printer decreases by 30% each year that it is held. The cost to operate and maintain the machine the first year it is used is $14,000; these costs increase by $5,000 each year. What is the optimal replacement interval and minimum EUAC for the printer, assuming a MARR of 13% is used?

A currently owned shredder used in a refuse-powered electrical generating plant has a present net realizable value of$210,000 and is expected to have a market value of $10,000 after 4 years. Operating and maintenancedisbursements are $100,000 per year. An equivalent shredder can be leased for $200 per day plus $80 perhour of actual use as determined by an hour meter, with both components assumed to be paid at year-end. Actual useis expected to be 1,500 hours and 250 days per year. Using a 4-year planning horizon, a before-tax analysis, and aMARR of 15 percent, determine the preferred alternative using the annual cost criterion.a. Consider only the above information and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). (11.2.1)b. Consider the addition of a third alternative, to operate without any shredder at all, at an annual cost of $190,000.Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). (11.2.1)c.

The equivalent annual worth of the process currently used in manufacturing motion controllers is AW = $-62,000 per year. A replacement process is under consideration that will have a first cost of $64,000 and an operating cost of $38,000 per year for the next 3 years. Three different engineers have given their opinion about what the salvage value of the new process will be 3 years from now as follows: $10,000, $13,000, and $18,000. Is the decision to replace the process sensitive to the salvage value estimates at the company’s MARR of 15% per year?
